Python: Should I Use Tkinter Or Pyqt? by badthinds(op): 10:10pm On Jul 03, 2016

I've used tkinter for a little while but iam having a second choice lately... switching to pyqt.

Please if you are using or have used pyQt, I will be grateful to hear from you. Thanks

TKinter is widely supported, i suggest you stick to it.

Besides with Tkinter, you're good to go on Python GUI programming..

If you think you're already comfortable with tkinter then switch to pyqt. It is more professional, has more widgets and an awesome drag n drop designer. However i will still suggest tkinter for a beginner

there's a good reason python uses much of tkinter for it's GUI stuffs... infact, that's what made Me so interested in tkinter.

No, it shouldn't. You can turn ur app to exe file using innosetup and py2exe. The app can then be installed on any system. I've tried it with wxpython before, so it should also work for tkinter.
